Description Arnout Boelens 2008-04-07 03:33:41 UTC

Version:           4:4.0.66+svn791114-3 Debian experimental (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

When I click "Install New Widgets" and then "Download From Internet" nothing happens. I would expect some dialog showed up which shows me available widgets I can download.

Comment 1 Aaron J. Seigo 2008-04-07 08:05:24 UTC

this is a work in progress, the dialog is being worked on in a branch and will be merged for 4.1.

Comment 2 Clemens 2008-04-11 02:48:53 UTC

I can confirm that. Lastes SVN compile from 2008-04-11.

Comment 3 Haris Kouzinopoulos 2008-06-11 09:16:14 UTC

I am confirming the bug, it happens in 4.1 beta1

Comment 5 zOOm_ER 2008-07-16 13:19:30 UTC

this bug appears again in KDE 4.1 RC-1 
i've booted from openSUSE Live-CD with KDE 4.1 RC-1.
in the widgets list, available from internet, i've clicked on wanted plasmoids, and they are marked as installed in the list (button changed from "install" to "uninstall"). But after closing there are no new plasmoids in the list of widgets, which can be added to plasma. Though when i call install new widgets from internet dialod again, all widgets i've choose still marked as installed...

Comment 6 Aaron J. Seigo 2008-07-16 19:56:06 UTC

server side feed issues; covered in another BR, nothing to do with plasma itself though.

Comment 7 Sebastian Turzański 2008-07-16 20:17:23 UTC

I understand that not being able to install plasmoids from server can be server side issue but if plasmoids are not installed and plasma shows them as installed on the computer so plasma's way to check whether it is installed or not fails.

Comment 8 albert 2008-07-16 22:33:29 UTC

If I press Install New Widget and then Download From Internet, nothing happens.
kde version: kde 4.1 rc1
installed from: kubuntu packages

Comment 9 lenz 2008-07-22 13:32:12 UTC

I too am observing this behaviour. Clicking on "Install New Widgets" opens a new window that allows me to select and install new widgets. The download actually seems to succeed, but the new widgets don't appear in the "Add Widgets" list, even though they are marked as installed.

(Version 4.1.00 (KDE 4.0.99 (4.1 RC1+)) "release 13.3") on OpenSUSE 11.0)

Comment 10 Praveen Srinivasan 2008-08-01 20:00:43 UTC

I have this problem also with the 4.1 release.

Comment 12 Alexey Chernov 2008-08-06 23:16:58 UTC

I can confirm bug described in comments #5-#10 for KDE 4.1 where download server for plasmoids is kde-look.org.

Comment 13 Sebastian Turzański 2008-08-10 23:22:39 UTC

still present in kde 4.1

Comment 14 Jaroslav Reznik 2008-09-17 17:47:12 UTC

Still present in 4.1.1. The problem is with plasmapkg. Currently there are only two Super Karamba packages offered. But plasmapkg tries to install them as native type 'plasmoid', not as Super Karamba type. 

plasmapkg(31685)/libplasma Plasma::Package::installPackage: No metadata file in package "/tmp/kde-jreznik///28165-cm81.skz"
Installation of /tmp/kde-jreznik///28165-cm81.skz failed.

Manual install with 'Install from file' or plasmapkg --type SuperKaramba works.
